Do either of these actions impact upon the elastic modulus?
I can't think of any reason why they would, but just want to make sure.
Thanks.

Strain hardening, also known as work hardening, is a process in which a metal is plastically deformed to increase its strength and hardness. On the other hand, cold rolling is a specific type of strain hardening process in which a metal is passed through a series of rollers at room temperature to decrease its thickness and increase its strength and hardness.
Strain hardening causes a metal to become stronger and harder, but also less ductile. This means it can withstand higher levels of stress and deformation, but may be more prone to fracturing or cracking.
Cold rolling offers several advantages over other strain hardening methods. It produces a smooth surface finish and can achieve precise dimensions and thicknesses. It also allows for a higher degree of strength and hardness to be achieved in the metal.
Cold rolling is limited by the thickness and size of the metal being rolled. Thicker metals may require multiple passes through the rollers to achieve the desired level of strain hardening. Additionally, the process can be time-consuming and expensive.
Strain hardening and cold rolling are widely used in the manufacturing of various metal products, such as sheets, plates, bars, and wires. They are also commonly used in the production of automotive and aerospace components, as well as in the construction and infrastructure industries.
